The Bridge finished ten days ago. The villain was unveiled in the penultimate episode (I'd guessed who it was) but the last episode was quite gripping and somewhat tragic.

Its slot is now being taken by two Swedish dramas starring Rolf Lassgård, who was the first TV Wallander, as Sebastian Bergman, a retired criminal psychologist. I saw the first and it definitely held the attention, although fairly gruesome in parts. The second will be shown next Saturday. Here's a report from a blogger:

I was so looking forward to Breaking Pointe (in spite of its dumb title), a reality show about backstage at the ballet, but the first episode was mostly teenage angst alive and well in twentysomethings. I hope that's just an introduction to the dancers and we'll be shown more of what goes on in creating a ballet. What's been shown so far of the dancing isn't very impressive.

The ballet company in question is Ballet West in Salt Lake City. (Salt Lake City has a ballet company?? Wow.) It's obviously a low-budget reality series, or perhaps none of the major companies would permit the distraction. But we're not likely to see any great dancing. One of the dancers was dropped by the Pittsburgh Ballet, and Pittsburgh is hardly A-list. The prima donna has trouble holding her arms up. But the show still could be interesting if they get into the business of creating a new ballet.
